Seton Hall University
School of Law

Terrific professors that are both practical and academic--very beneficial in career

Downers

School could do a better job focusing on all the student, not just certain interest groups or top students

Comments

Would definitely take seton hall over any other school. All around top-notch

“Law School”

February 2019CURRENT STUDENT

Uppers

I like the fact of ease customer service. Response time is great.

Downers

The lack of response in grading. Inability to know how you are doing throughout the term

Comments

I like the fact of obtianing an MSJ after I reconsidered law school. This turned out being a great alternative

Would You Recommend

Yes

“SHL Alum”

June 2018FORMER STUDENT

Uppers

School truly has fantastic professors that are engaging and intelligent. Coursework made studying for the bar much easier than anticipated. Clinical experience has still been one of the highlights of my career. Excellent alumni network in NJ - SHL alumni dominate the larger NJ firms and judicial clerkships (including federal district court).

Downers

It is an expensive school for the ranking and limited geographical mobility of the degree. Still challenging to break into the NYC market, although the top 10% of the class has a decent shot.

Comments

Consider whether Rutgers, a state alternative, makes better financial sense. I attended on scholarship and because I fortunately did well academically, had no issues finding employment and a federal clerkship. I will say, however, the lower parts of the class may struggle to find decent jobs.

Yes

“Great School”

May 2018FORMER STUDENT

Uppers

atmosphere; professors are top notch; alumni connections are strong, especially in New Jersey

Downers

Of course, tuition could be lower but it is no more than any other comparable school and with that in mind it is a great value considering the terrific employment outcomes.

Comments

Seton Hall is undervalued. I think it is more of a top 20 school with a top 50 type perception. It is definitely on an upward projection and has been for a long time.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Despite the ranking, excellent law school experience.”

October 2017FORMER STUDENT

Uppers

Fantastic professors, many of whom were practitioners prior to teaching and add their practical perspectives to the material.

Downers

The cost to attend is high, especially in comparison to Rutgers' in-state school tuition.

Comments

Don't let negative online reviews and articles deter you - if you want to practice in New Jersey, Seton Hall will provide a quality legal education and strong alumni network.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Great Training Ground For Soon to be Lawyers”

April 2015FORMER STUDENT

Uppers

Good Professor and Student relations

Great IT department

Nice campus

IP Law Concentration program is the best

Downers

Too competitive

Lack of support from the administration regarding job placement

Cafe is just ok

Comments

The health care law and IP concentration program is great. Highly recommend participating in a legal clinic or appeallate clinic classes for credit.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Regional school”

March 2015CURRENT STUDENT

Uppers

Strong nj presence, great health law program, great clerkship opportunities

Downers

Too regional, no ny reach, not many big law at fall oci, costly

Comments

You need to have substantial scholarship to attend. You need to want to practice in NJ.
